VP duo’s terms end Wednesday New Illinois Student Senate vice presidents to be sworn in BY SAMANTHA JONES TOAL STAFF WRITER
When asked what Matt Hill’s dream job is, Sarah Hochman jumped in before he could answer. “I bet I could guess,” she said. “Press Secretary of the White House.” Hill l au g h e d in agreement. “And yours is Secretary of Agriculture,” he guessed, correctly. Hill and Hochman have served as the Illinois Student Senate vice presidents — external and internal — respectively, for the past three semesters. The two will officially step-down from their positions on Wednesday due to “unforeseen circumstances and opportunities.” Hill and Hochman announced their resignations in a joint-letter in November. When asked about these opportunities, Hill said that neither of them would be on campus to serve the senate. “We are both finalizing pending opportunities,” Hill said. Whatever opportunities await them next semester, their dream jobs serve as a reflection of their work in the student senate. “I view myself as a connector,” said Hill. Hill said one of his pas-

sions as vice president was connecting students on campus to the student senate’s work and campaigns. Hochman spoke about her interest in policy — specifically those that could impact a vast majority of people. “The biggest thing for internal (vice president) is to help things run and anticipate needs,” Hochman said. “Before student senate, I knew what hard work was — but really being able to make a difference in others’ lives besides my own — I think that’s really prepared me for any future opportunity.” Hill said Hochman has been a “driving force” in the student senate. Hill and Hochman were both large contributors to the “It’s On Us” sexual assault awareness campaign which drew Vice President Joe Biden to campus in April. “Getting involved in the campaign made us realize you can’t just change a policy, you can’t just change the culture, the two really need to be intertwined to eliminate sexual assault from any college campus,” Hill said. Through the campaign, students continue to pledge to stop sexual assault and policy was passed which now allows victims of sexual assault to take part in their assailant’s hearing. Despite accomplishments, the two also spoke of the challenges that

UIPD compares campus crime rates to national universities BY JOE LONGO STAFF WRITER
The University leads the pack in the amount of aggravated assaults that have occurred on campus when compared with 21 comparable universities, according to a report by University of Illinois Police Department. The UIPD recently released new statistics comparing crime rates from 2014 on campus to rates at similar universities, includ-
ing some Big Ten schools — Ohio State University, University of Wisconsin, Purdue University, University of Iowa, Northwestern University, Pennsylvania State University and Rutgers University. The information comes from the annual Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Statistics Act, which mandates that public universities receiving federal fund-
ing must disclose crime rates and statistics. The University, tied with Rutgers University, had the most occurrences of aggravated assault; Illinois reported nearly double the average of other universities. Both the University and Rutgers University had 20 reported cases of aggravated assault in 2014, compared to an average of about 10.7 assaults. Pat Wade, UIPD spokes-
man, said the statistics provide context for the public about crime information on campus. The report marks the first time the UIPD has publically released a comparison of the University’s statistics to similar universities, following feedback on a Campus Safety Notice this past fall. “We do a really good job of talking about public safe-

New background check policy proposed Monday BY CHRISTIN WATKINS STAFF WRITER
A vote by the Academic Senate on Monday urged change in the background check policy that has been a concern since the Board of Trustees postponed its implementation in October. In a 55 to 35 vote, members of the senate passed a resolution proposing that all University employees should be required to complete a background check after receiving a job offer but before the start of their actual employment. The goal of the policy is to protect the campus community, while having a transparent hiring
process which allows for those with criminal backgrounds to feel welcome to apply to University jobs, said Edward Feser, interim provost. Feser emphasized the need for an “individualized assessment for each candidate.” Each hired employee’s background check would look for criminal convictions and be conducted in a way that prevents criminal and racial discrimination, he said. The policy is due to be implemented in January. During the meeting Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson also addressed campus issues of racism
and discrimination. Wilson sent a Massmail on Monday detailing a list of initiatives the University will undertake in the spring semester. The new initiatives come after several vigils and black solidarity rallies were held on the Main Quad in light of the the creation of an ‘Illini White Student Union’ Facebook page. “That anyone on our campus would think it’s appropriate to create such a site is extremely disturbing,” Wilson said in a Massmail in response to the page on Nov. 19. “We

Wilson outlines initiatives promoting inclusion DAILY ILLINI STAFF REPORT
Rather than the traditional holiday greeting Msssmail, Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson sent out a list of initiatives Monday afternoon addressing recent issues of the racism and discrimination that she recognized are a “part of daily life” for some students on campus. Wilson referred to campus vigils and several recent rallies in the Massmail. A Black Solidarity Rally held last month made national news when just hours after the rally, an “Illini White Student Union” Facebook page was formed. University administration has since released statements condemning the page but have faced criticism from some groups on campus, arguing the University could be more active and vocal against racism at Illinois. Wilson detailed several parts of the current efforts she is taking, with the help of several committees including Menah PrattClarke, associate provost for diversity. Additionally, the University has committed $4.9 million to the construction of a new facility for the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center in 2018. She also mentioned “increased undergraduate scholarship support,” although a specific num-

Additionally, Brown emphasized that the statistics are also subject to the geographical differences of

Interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson’s Massmail on Monday comes after a month of racial tension. Multiple solidarity rallies have taken place after a “White Student Union” Facebook page was formed online. in the wake of an Illini White Student Union Facebook page formed online in response to a Black Solidarity rally held on Nov. 18. The Central Black Student Union and the Black Students for Revolution have planned several solidarity events since the creation of the Facebook page and the University administration’s
subsequent responses condemning the page. Members of the Black Students for Revolution were critical of the University’s response to the formation of the page as well as other issues they felt perpetuated the subjugation of black people on campus. The initiative aims to “tap into the deep talent pool of
ferent hurdles you have to overcome.” There’s a lot of “red tape” to work around, Hochman said. However, Hill and Hochman said building relationships across campus can help forgo some bureaucratic difficulties. The two new vice presidents Laura Saldivar, senior in LAS, and Jill
Whitman, sophomore in LAS will be sworn in at the meeting Wednesday. Hochman and Hill said the transition should go smoothly because the two new leaders are already familiar with each position. When asked if the two would be upset about not working together next semester, they turned to look at each other.
Although neither Hochman or Hill could confirm what they will be doing next semester, they are not worried about the end of their run together. “I think we’re going to be just fine,” Hochman said. “Nothing will separate us, and let’s just leave it at that.”
each campus. For example, although KAM’S is off-campus, its proximity to the Main Quad and several academic buildings makes much of the surrounding sidewalk and path reportable for on-campus police. For campuses with nightlife that takes place farther off-campus, similar crimes may be occurring outside of the jurisdiction of campus police. Though Wade said he is proud of the UIPD’s work in
all reported crimes on campus; not all local police agencies are required to do so. “When we can put the actual statistics into context with other places just like us and people see that ‘Oh it’s not out of control here,’ people are a little bit surprised by that,” Wade said. As a whole, the University ranked slightly above average for robberies with 10 reported cases compared to an average of about 7.5 robberies. The university
ity of bike thefts go unreported, and that inexpensive bikes made up the majority of thefts. “A lot of people think that if they get a less expensive bike, then it won’t get stolen. That’s not the case,” said Kevin Stillwell, author of the report. “Most bikes thefts are actually inexpensive bikes.” According to the report, 58 percent of reported thefts occurred with bikes worth $200 or less. Stillwell said the purpose of the report was to fill a void in information about bike theft for students on campus. “Most people hadn’t really gotten any data about bike theft,” Stillwell said. “People were happy to see not just data on bike theft, but that data broken down, analyzed and put in a way that was easy for people to digest.” Like Stillwell, Wade believes the statistics provide insight to further help the public make decisions regarding safety and prevention. “That’s at the heart of why we do these things, because we want everyone to have the information and the tools they need to work with us to protect themselves,” Wade said.

publicizing crime reports on campus, he noticed a hyperawareness of campus crime that could distort the actual reality. “People are super aware of crime issues here, and every time they got an email delivered directly to their inbox about a robbery it scares them,” he said.

Discrimination is a relevant issue that should be discussed and worked to end, said Gay Miller, chair of the Senate Executive Committee and professor in Education. “These are not topics that can be discussed once and then forgotten about,” she said. Wilson also discussed
the continued lack of state budget funding, and its effect on University students. Due to the loss in funding, the University has decided they “will institutionally cover MAP funding for now,” Wilson said. On Nov. 10, the University announced that students may have to refund their spring Monetary Award Program grants if a bud-

Hillary Clinton to fundraise in Nebraska with Warren Buffett Billionaire investor Warren Buffett will fundraise with Hillary Clinton during the Democratic presidential hopeful’s visit to his hometown next week, according to an invitation obtained by Bloomberg. Clinton is headed to Omaha, Neb., on Dec. 16 to share the stage with Buffett, the chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., for a grassroots rally aimed at firing up Nebraska Democrats ahead of the state’s March
5 caucus. Since late summer, Clinton has systematically been visiting states with March primaries and caucuses to lay groundwork ahead of that busy stretch of voting. Tickets for the fundraiser with Buffett, scheduled for the morning of the 16th, start at $500 and go up to $2,700 for donors hoping for a photo with Clinton and Buffett. Those who raise $27,000 or more will have access to a reception with both.
Severed pig’s head thrown into Northern Philadelphia mosque PHIL ADEL PHIA — Local and federal authorities were investigating reports Monday that someone left a severed pig’s head at a North Philadelphia mosque. An employee at the Al Aqsa Islamic Society mosque found the bloodied head when he arrived around 6 a.m. Monday. Surveillance video at the
site captured a red pickup truck that drove twice past the mosque just before 11 p.m. Sunday. On its second pass, someone threw an item from the passenger window, the video shows. Pigs are considered insulting to Muslims who observe halal dietary laws. Philadelphia police were interviewing potential witnesses Monday.
Governor urges vigilance, calls for stronger gun laws BY CHRIS MEGERIAN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
LE BOURGET, France — In the wake of the San Bernardino shootings, Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday called for stronger federal gun laws, rebutted Republican criticism of President Barack Obama and urged vigilance against potential terrorist activity. “Ideas are being generated around the world that are coming back, a blowback that’s hitting Europe, it’s hit Turkey … and now it’s hit California,” Brown said in a CNN interview. Speaking from the convention center outside Paris where he’s attending a United Nations summit
on climate change, Brown accused some politicians of “demonizing, exploiting” the terrorism issue, mentioning Republican candidate Donald Trump as one who takes it “to a rather extreme level.” But he added, “That doesn’t mean we don’t have to be pretty intensive in our effort to ferret out these people who are developing these attitudes that then turn into mass slaughter. I don’t have the full answer, but I wouldn’t be too complacent that we’ve got it right yet.” Brown said the federal government should ban gun purchases by people on the no-fly list, and he called for stronger national gun laws.
Congress, he said, should “get off their partisan seat and do something to protect the American people.” Obama spoke about terrorism from the Oval Office on Monday, and Brown said it was “unfortunate” that presidential candidates “have to politicize that.” He recalled speaking to victims of the San Bernardino attack who saw “ordinary people getting shot just a few feet away.” “It’s a horrible experience, and it’s not about party, and it’s not an occasion for candidates to try and score political points. It’s about what can America do to combat something that’s not just bullets, but it’s ideas.”

EDITORIAL Cohesion needed between students, student senators and administration
T
he Illinois Student Senate has attempted to change its constitution for several years now, but the Senate continually fails to receive enough signatures to be placed on the referendum ballot. If the petition had received enough signatures, the Campus Student Election Commission would include the constitutional amendments as a question for the student body to vote on. Through this process, the student senate attempted to pass something that could have benefited the entire campus. For the last four years, the senate has tried to drastically change the constitution, and this semester they reached closer than ever, only falling a few hundred signatures short said Matt Hill, vice president-external. Currently, the student body president and vice presidents are elected from within the senate and not voted on by the student body, which is how all the other student senators are elected. The proposed constitution attempted to change these voting policies, along with essentially creating three branches of government including a cabinet, a judiciary and a legislative branch, which would be controlled by a speaker and a director. By allowing executive leaders to be elected by the
the entire student body, it would help give the leaders legitimacy in their roles and could possibly help give them more power within the administration by allowing them to state that the students choose them to speak as their voice, which is untrue for administrators. A large issue lies within the student senate’s limited power. Currently, the Academic Senate passes all major policy changes to the campus, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, this leaves the student senate with limited power, and they are forced to serve in the “recommendation” role. The student senate often has to pass resolutions “in support of” something. They can voice their opinion and send their resolution of support to the administration. This has a tendency to put the student senate in rough situations when students come to them with their issues that just cannot be fixed within their level of power. The student senators should better utilize the opportunity to serve as a senator in the Academic Senate, but the Academic Senate needs to take their voice seriously. But most importantly, students at the University need to understand the role of the student senate to ensure that when they want to express their view-
points, their opinions are being heard. We don’t want our opinions to fall on inevitably deaf ears, but this will continue to happen if we don’t learn the actual powers of the student senate. They can — and will be willing to — listen to us, but that doesn’t mean they will be able to do anything about our problems, even if they want to. Further, it is unfair of students to be highly expecting of immediate change when we don’t step in to assist them make the said changes. We need participate in the opportunity to make change when the Senate presents it, and, as the lack of signatures show, we are not currently doing that. We support the Student Senate for always pushing policy changes despite the political roadblocks they sometimes receive. The student senate needs to be a more cohesive communicative process. Both students and student senators need to involve themselves with the discussion, and above all, the academic student needs to take that conversation seriously. When the student senate attempts to get the constitution proposal back on the spring referendum next semester, all students should make sure to sign. Empower the people who are supposed to represent your voice by exercising your right to vote.

UI’s diverse opportunities help students learn AGATHA GARCIA Opinions columnist

ith only two weeks left of my undergraduate career, I am overcome with every emotion from happiness and excitement to anxiety and fear. ChampaignUrbana has become my safe space and my home away from home. I decorated my apartment diligently, chose my favorite coffee shops and worked at Maize Mexican Grill for the past two and a half years. It’s hard to depart from a place that has helped shape the person I am today. I have learned how hard it is earn money and the value of work. I have also learned to balance work and school. But most importantly, I have learned how to be humble and to appreciate every
opportunity and person in my life. I arrived at the University with great expectations and goals. My main goal was to major in political science, take every course to prepare for law school and after graduation, I’d be on the track to become an immigration lawyer. My plans evolved with every course I took and with every new person I met. I now want to focus on human rights laws and international conflicts. I want to learn French and Arabic in order to work with NGOs in various parts of the world. These aren’t things I had considered when I first arrived at the University, but now it’s the path I believe is best for me. Throughout my time at the University, I attended Quad Day, tried out for a dance team, performed at Little Urbanite and pulled all-nighters with my roommates. I ate stir-fry
at PAR, worked out at the ARC and ordered Insomnia cookies. I attended a play at the Krannert Center, and I have written opinions columns for The Daily Illini. I will take all of these memories with me as I continue on with my education and career. I have enjoyed a bit of everything that the University had to offer. I was given the opportunity to have my ideas and thoughts published and learn the process of editing and publishing. These were fundamental because they taught me to interact with strangers, perform in public and enjoy life while
attending to my education and goals. The plans I had as a freshman changed as I traveled and took courses in the religious studies department. I have had the pleasure to learn about Islamic theology, Asian mythology and Hindu goddesses. I took courses that were not part of my political science curriculum or general education requirements and it helped shape my aspirations for the future. I stepped out of my comfort zone and my designated path and I explored new cultures in my classrooms. I learned more about my passions
I can now connect interest in religion with my original passion in politics.
and interests by not limiting myself to a strict curriculum. I can now connect interest in religion with my original passion in politics. I have learned to see the interaction of both and how to pave a new path to a career that I will enjoy. My courses also allowed me to understand people who I had known nothing about. I had been surrounded by people that held the same ideas and culture as my own, but by being here I was able to expand my knowledge. This is one of the best things that I have achieved at the University. I can no longer be restricted by one idea because I was given access to so much more. I can approach a problem from many angles and try to put my biases aside in order to provide the best outcome. Although I won’t miss the grueling study ses-
sions during finals week or the anxiety before an exam, I will miss the satisfaction of turning in a research paper and the excitement of starting a new course. I am happy to have been able to attend the University of Illinois because it offered me many resources that helped me arrive at this final semester and ultimately graduate. The Access and Achievement Program and the deans in the College of LAS were always available to provide guidance. My professors advised me when I needed to find internships or figure out what graduate school programs best suited me. My experience in Champaign-Urbana has prepared me to encounter any future endeavors and challenges.

Sensitive student responses prevent open discussion MINJU PARK Opinions columnist
L
ast week, President of Oklahoma Wesleyan University Dr. Everett Piper wrote an open letter to the public criticizing the pattern of college students feeling “victimized” when having differing opinions on controversial topics. This was in response to a student who told him he felt “offended” by a church sermon with which he didn’t quite agree. This student felt the sermon was wrong because it made “him, and his peers, feel uncomfortable.” The sermon, 1 Corinthians 13, speaks about the all encompassing power of love, in which the student responded by feeling “bad for not showing love.” Recently, there seems to be a shift from being able to have an intellectual
disagreement and debate with others to being paranoid of political incorrectness, similar to what Piper expressed in his letter. This could be due to the constantly changing culture of America, in which people who are white are gradually becoming the minority race compared to the growing populations of various minorities. The U.S. Census Bureau predicts that by 2044, whites will make up 49.7 percent of the population, compared to 25 percent Hispanic, 12.7 percent black, 7.9 percent Asian and 3.7 percent multiracial. There is a growing percentage of the population with different backgrounds, values and perspectives that may lead to offended feelings when making controversial statements. It isn’t that people shouldn’t have differing perspectives, but that as
of recently, more people have been jumping to the victimization response, which basically dismisses a viewpoint or perspective solely because it has the potential to hurt or offend another person’s feelings. The victimization response avoids intellectual debate or an attempt to objectively understand another’s viewpoint in order to avoid provocation. A recent example of this victimization response is the controversy over cultural appropriation of the yoga classes held at the University of Ottawa. The university’s Centre for Students with Disabilities stated that the yoga class at the university has recently been removed due to unpopularity of classes, but many suspect that the class was removed due to some staff and students commenting on the “cultural appropriation” behind the yoga classes. Yoga histori-
cally has origins in India, but has grown significantly in global popularity. This has caught the interest of the Hindu American Foundation, which is campaigning to bring awareness to the Western commercialization of yoga. While the westernization of yoga is evident in the Lululemon-clad, Starbucks-drinking girls doing sun salutations in the ARC, simply cancelling the class is not the most effective way to open up discussion and resolve the problems of ignorance and misunderstanding. Instead, instructors could provide a lesson about the spiritual and religious implications behind the beginnings of yoga, make sure to learn the correct pronunciation of yoga poses or intonations in the native language or to emphasize certain key aspects of ancient yoga, such as kindness and
mindfulness. Even the first teachers of yoga, such as BKS Iyengar — creator of some of the first yoga schools in Pune, India — advocated the spread of yoga to a global scale. In response to yoga deviating from its original spirituality, Iyengar states, “It all depends on what state of mind the practitioner is in when he is doing yoga. . . For the aberration, don’t blame yoga or the whole community of yogis.” The yoga situation at the University of Ottawa relates back to Piper’s letter in that again, the victimization response is played with the claims of political incorrectness and cultural appropriation. The demands to remove yoga in totality from western society were catered to with yoga no longer being offered at the University of Ottawa. Piper’s open letter brings
up an issue in our generation of teens and young adults — we have become too accustomed to claiming that our view, and our view only, is the correct one. We refuse to look past our offended feelings from the other side failing to agree with our perspective. Instead, we stubbornly push away the opposition and focus on the righteousness of our own viewpoints. This kind of mindset in our generation will only continue to cycle in the generations to come. An inability to understand and to cooperate is the crux of many social issues among today’s leaders. It is up to us to stop this by finding the balance between standing up for one’s beliefs and remembering to keep an open mind at the same time.

TINY MAJORS Jill Gronwick, senior in special education, also said that being in a smaller, more “niche” major has impacted her academia and social life. “Some of the people in my major have become my best friends because we spend so much time together,” Gronwick said. However, there are a few downsides to being in a small major. Madeli ne Stepha ny, senior in urban planning, said that although studying her major at the University has helped her develop close, personal relationships with her teachers, she also has an inflexible schedule. “My professors and I are on a first name basis which is nice, but they also will call me out for skipping class because there aren’t many people in any of my classes,” Stephany said. Hardwood said that it is necessary to keep the urban planning major small due to the material the subject covers. “Our students do a lot of group projects and handson assignments. Students observe community meetings, analyze data and learn to make maps, develop policy recommendations, do summer internships and work with real
clients for class projects,” She said. Gronwick also said that the worst part of being in a small major is the inability to ever miss a class. “My professors all know me by name, and whenever I have to skip class — even if it was for an emergency — they jokingly call me out, and every student in the class is aware I skipped. Since there aren’t many of us, it’s impossible to miss a class, ever,” Gronwick said. Dolinko said his least favorite part of being in such a small major is the lack of diversity as a result. He said since there are such few students, there aren’t many males. “My least favorite thing is that not many guys are in my major. Since it is so small, the number of guys is even smaller,” Dolinko said. “I wish there was a larger number of guys in my major. I feel that there needs to be a lot more elementary education male teachers. Kids need more male figures in their life.” Regardless of the downsides to a small major, Stephany said she would not change a thing. “At the end of the day, I love being in a small major and the opportunities that have arisen from it. I wouldn’t change it for the world,” Stephany said.

BMX racer returns to track, overcomes heart problem BY PETER LARSEN TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
With each mile Billy Griggs pedaled he put more distance between himself and the physical ailments that dogged him for years, eventually going so far that this weekend, Griggs zipped up his racing suit, fastened his crash helmet and rode out to jump the moguls and sprint the straights at the national BMX championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Griggs had figured it was all just part of getting older. The weight he’d put on. The drop in energy he felt when he’d take his dirt bike out for weekends in the desert. After all, how could he compete with what he’d been in his teens and 20s? Back then, the kid from Anaheim was known as Mr. Bill, and for more than a decade he was one of the top BMX bicycle racers in the world. Still, Griggs was a young man when a random visit to his doctor offered an answer — and hope. One of the valves in his heart had a leak, a genetic defect he’d unknowingly lived with all his life. If he fixed it, the doctor told him, he could live a full and energetic life. There were a few complications getting his ticker back on track, but eventually Griggs went back to what he knew best to find the health he so desired. “My fitness quest started with riding my BMX bike for one hour after work every night,” Griggs says of the path on which he embarked in 2012, “just riding a lot of my old training routes I’d mapped out back when I was racing.” Now, three years later, at age 47, another national title loomed just a few laps away. An Early Start Griggs can’t remember a time he didn’t want to be on two wheels going as fast as possible. He got his first motorcycle when he was 2, and once he learned to ride a bike he was out and about in his Anaheim neighborhood as much as possible. “I was the kid in the neighborhood building jumps out of boards and bricks and jumping trash cans,” he says. “My mom was the poor mother who had to get the calls from the neighbors: ‘Do you know what your son is doing out here on his BMX bike?’” In January 1981, Griggs discovered the BMX track by the YMCA in Orange, convinced his mom to take him there one weekend and came home from his firstever race with a third-place trophy. “We were here the next Wednesday for the first race,” he says. “I was just hooked.”

Part of it was also to show his wife, Jennifer, whom he’d met just after his racing days ended, what he’d once done. “I got down there, did the Hall of Fame, did the speech, and my first round of qualifying since 2000 I won the lap,” Griggs says. In the Saturday sessions he finished out of the podium positions, but on Sunday he placed third in the expert class for racers 41 and older. “I was as excited about my racing that weekend as I was about getting into the Hall of Fame,” he says. Driving home from the weekend he was still happy, but as he and Jennifer talked, the old competitive juices started to bubble up from where he’d buried them years earlier. “If I was good enough for third, I was good enough to win,” Griggs says he told his wife. “I thought, ‘Do it while you can,’” Griggs says.

Smaller majors help students find their niche BY JENNY HORNE STAFF WRITER
The University boasts 33,000 students in its undergraduate program. Along with the 33,000, there are hundreds of majors, minors, specializations and concentrations. Some majors, however, are not nearly as populated as others. In fact, some only have around 20 to 30 students. Urban planning professor Stacy Harwood said that small majors are excellent for a number of reasons. “The faculty knows all of the students by name. We can sit around and talk about

Dolinko said the best part of being in a small major is the intimacy it has created in his academic environment. “My favorite thing about being in a small major is I feel the teachers are now able to give us more attention and focus their time with us more,” he said. “Advisers, professors and TA’s know us personally and actually care about our success.” The special education program is even smaller than elementary education.

RSO donates e-books Organization provides reading access for children in need BY ABBY PAETH STAFF WRITER
“Jane Eyre,” “Moby Dick” and “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” are just a few of the books that are available in the form of e-books. This year, a University Registered Student Organization has emerged with the intent of providing children with access to classic books like these that are not readily available to them — Project Hart. Created this semester, Project Hart’s main focus is to collect and donate e-readers with a pre-downloaded library to children in need. Project Hart was inspired by Project Gutenberg, an online database of free books created by University alumn and inventor of the electronic book, Michael Hart. Project Hart became an official corpora-
tion on Oct. 7, 2015. Jorian Heal, CEO, founder of Project Hart and junior in LAS, was a close family friend of Michael Hart. Heal even remembers receiving her fi rst computer from Hart when she was little. In 2011, Hart passed away of a heart attack. “He was a really interesting character (and) had a big impact on my life. He did so much good for the world. He always said that we have to break down the bars of ignorance and educate the world,” Heal said. “I’m trying to take Project Gutenberg a step further in his memory.” Heal said that Hart believed in eliminating any obstacles that prevent children from receiving the best possible education and went to Congress several times to change the copyright laws that prohibit books from being available online. He also felt that books should be free to the public and that no child should ever have to miss out on a quality education. Heal said she has been dreaming about starting
Project Hart since her junior year in high school. She explained that as a child, she did not grow up with much money, but her mother was able to take her to the library every single day. “I felt like reading made such a big impact on my life, and I just want to make sure that other kids have that same chance with parents that don’t have time to go to the library,” Heal said. Now as a junior at the University, she is proud to say that she is one step closer to achieving her goal. “We are solely donationbased. Without people’s donations we are not able to get e-readers, and with people’s donations, the only thing that it is going to go to is the purchase and distribution of e-readers,” Heal said. Christopher Piemonte , chief fi nancial offi cer of Project Hart and senior in LAS, also stressed the importance of sharing books with people in need.

Illinois women’s basketball hosts SIU Illini to settle rivalry with in-state foe BY MATT GERTSMEIER STAFF WRITER
Matt Bollant described the Illi nois women’s basketball team’s win over Lehigh on Sunday as a “grind-out game.” But the Illini (5-1) head coach said his team must be sharper Tuesday if it wants to secure a win against Southern Illinois (4-3) at State Farm Center. “You’re going to have games where you are just not as sharp and find a way, grind it out and we did that (Sunday),” Bollant said. “We’ll have to be sharper on Tuesday with Southern Illinois coming in and hopefully we’ll play well.” The I l li ni enjoyed a st r o ng offe n sive performance, shooting 45 percent from the field against Lehigh. Kyley Simmons scored all of her points from beyond the arc and led Illinois with 21 points. Chatrice White finished Sunday’s game with 17 points, three blocks and four steals. Illinois did allow Lehigh to snag 17 offensive rebounds and score 16 second- chance points. White knows that going forward, Illinois will need to limit its opponents’ offe n sive rebound opportunities. “Coming from this game,

When: Tuesday, State Farm Center, 7 p.m. Quick notes: Illini square off against a familiar SIU opponent on Tuesday Hidden stat: This is the third straight year the Illini have a matchup with the Salukis, Illinois has won the last two meetings we think that’s definitely an emphasis for us going into the next few games and just getting those defensive rebounds and keeping them off the (offensive) boards,” White said. Illinois will be challenged again on the glass Tuesday — the Salukis average 15.6 offensive rebounds per game. But luckily for the Illini, the Salukis are a very familiar opponent. Th is is the th i rd consecutive year Illinois is squaring off against Southern Illinois. Illinois is on a two-game winning streak against Southern Illinois, winning by an average of 39.5 points. These matchups helped Bol la nt prepa re for Tuesday night. This season, the Salukis are being led by junior guard Rishonda Napier and senior forward Dyana Pierre. Napier is averaging 13.7 points per game while Pierre is averaging 14.2 points per game and 11.7 rebounds per game. Bollant is anticipating an improved Saluki team. “They’re b e t t e r, obviously, looking at their scores,” Bollant said. “Last year Napier and
Pierre were both really good players, All-Missouri Valley team. They added a couple kids who can really shoot the ball.” Illinois has experienced offensive success thus far, averaging 76.8 points per game. But the Salukis may pose a challenge to the Illini’s offensive game. The Salukis are averaging 6.1 steals and 5.1 blocks per game. In its last three games, Southern Illinois’ opponents averaged 58 points. Illinois might have a pretty good gauge on how Tuesday might play out as the Salukis have played somewhat of a similar schedule to the Illini’s. So far this season, Illinois and Southern Illinois have played two mutual opponents — Tennessee State a nd Tennessee Martin. Both the Illini and Salukis came out victorious over Tennessee State. But against Tennessee Martin, the Salukis lost 70-63 while Illinois won 94-74. Despite t he Illini dominating last year’s contest against Southern Illinois, Bollant believes the Salukis had an off night in their last meeting

Groce praises Jordan’s strong performance BY JOEY FIGUEROA STAFF WRITER

Katie Stadick spikes the ball during the game against Iowa at Huff Hall on Oct. 16.
Sweet Sixteen again Volleyball advances in NCAA for third year straight
BY DANIEL DEXTER STAFF WRITER
With its win on Saturday night, the Illinois volleyball team advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament for the third straight year. Illinois is one of six Big Ten teams to advance to its respective regional semifinals. Of the remaining Big Ten teams, the Illini have lost to all of them over the course of the regular season, including Sweet Sixteen opponent Minnesota. However, after Saturday’s victory over Louisville, setter Jordyn Poulter said the team has come a long way in the weeks leading up to the NCAA tournament. She believes that the team is more prepared mentally to take on some of the best teams in the country. “I think we figured ourselves out a lot more, especially in these past few weeks,” Poulter said. “It’s always fun to go up against an opponent that you have already played, and I think we will have that mindset
next week when we go up against Minnesota.”
Stadick leads the way over Salukis In the team’s opening round match against Southern Illinois, middle blocker Katie Stadick led the way for the Illini. The junior recorded 12 kills on a .632 hitting percentage, which was her highest this season. On the defensive end, she added four blocks. She followed up her Friday play with a seven-kill and three-block performance Saturday against Louisville. Stadick credited Poulter for putting the ball in good positions for her to execute a good spike. Head coach Kevin Hambly agreed and added that the coaching staff pushed Stadick in practice leading into the match to overcome her offensive trouble in the regular season. “She has been struggling offensively,” Hambly said at Friday’s press conference. “We made a couple of changes and got on some things, and I thought she did a nice job of getting on the slide … I thought Katie started to play with a little bit more confidence as she has shown throughout this week.” Poulter facilitates offense throughout the weekend
In her first taste of post season volleyball, Poulter helped guide the team past its first two tournament opponents. She recorded 34 assists and 10 digs against Southern Illinois and then followed that up with 46 assists and six blocks against Louisville. In addition, the freshman recorded the match winning block to end the Cardinals comeback attempt. Hambly praised Poulter for helping the team maintain its composure during the heated final points of the fourth set Saturday. He added that Poulter was able to get her teammates involved in the action and helped set up outside hitter Jocelynn Birks’ 26-kill performance — two shy of the program kill leader’s single-game high. Poulter said the team kept calm in the big moments of both matches over the weekend, which was a big contributor to its victories. “I think that the team that we were two weeks ago would have just crumbled. But (on Saturday), we focused on what was ahead of us and not get caught up in previous plays, and we were able to pull the win out.”

Aaron Jordan gives lots of short, simple answers when talking to the media — in other words, he sounds like a freshman. But on the court, the 18-year-old guard is beginning to earn the type of trust that head coach John Groce usually has in his more experienced players. Plenty of minutes are up for grabs on the Illinois men’s basketball team this year, and Groce has let the kids play. Jordan, fellow freshman D.J. Williams and redshirt freshman Michael Finke all saw considerable court time in Illinois’ win over Western Carolina, which could be a trend moving forward. Finke looked terrific with a career-best scoring performance Saturday, but a large portion of Groce’s postgame press conference was devoted to the praises of Jordan’s efforts. “It’s a great example of what happens when you have a great attitude,” Groce said. “I notice him during games — he’s up all the time when
guys make plays, even in games where he didn’t play. That’s pretty rare for someone his age to do that.” Through nine games, Jordan trails only freshman guard Jalen Coleman-Lands for the team lead in 3-point percentage, and 26 of the 37 shots he’s taken have come from deep. The Illinois native has made a three in all but two games he’s appeared in, which makes him a valuable asset in a more perimeter-orientated offense sans the injured Mike Thorne Jr. Jordan failed to hit a three in Saturday’s win, but Groce still thought it was one of his best games of the year and even compared his mental toughness to that of junior guard Kendrick Nunn, whom Groce hopes Jordan continues to learn from. “It’s hard not to like him,” Groce said. “Most of the time, he’s been the same guy, regardless of circumstance — that’s really what mental toughness is. Experience is going to be a big thing for him, and hopefully we can get him to be consistent moving forward.” If you ask Jordan, he’s just glad to see time on the court, especially at State Farm Center. “It’s crazy,” Jordan said. “Just last year, I was on the
sideline watching. It’s just great to be able to experience this.” With the firepower and versatility of Finke, Jordan and Coleman-Lands, it can be easy to forget about Illinois’ fourth freshman, Williams. Along with Jordan, Williams saw some extended action for the first time in a few games, and Groce liked what he brought on the defensive end. “Obviously he’s long,” Groce said. “We played some zone when he was in, he’s really good in the zone. He’s getting better defensively.” In eight minutes against Western Carolina, Williams pitched in an offensive rebound and a steal. He’s attempted just 10 field goals over the course of five games but has the chance to help the struggling Illinois defense stay afloat in certain stretches. Groce said the Illini freshmen had their best collective practice the day before Saturday’s win and is hopeful for more consistency from the group as the Big Ten schedule looms. “We still have a long way to go, and we’re planning to work on that,” Jordan said.

Kevin reviews the crazy semester KEVIN MCCARTHY Illini columnist
T
his semester, the University of Illinois athletic department has reminded me of a quintessential junior-high-lunchroom food fight. It started with one kid tattling on the school bully for using his spoon to catapult diced pineapple across the lunchroom. The next day, the mean, little, freckle-faced friend of the bully launched a PB and J sandwich in retaliation — war had officially been waged. There goes a cupcake, now some ketchup — and hey, was that a slice of watermelon? Kids are getting suspended left and right. I even heard that little ol’ Jimmy got expelled for giving Bobby a swirly in the girls’ bathroom. OK, maybe that analogy only worked for me. But seriously, what in the Sam Hill happened in Champaign this semester? Fantastic question, my friend. So let’s break it down — from the PB and J sandwich that flew through the air to the ketchup smeared all over Joey’s face.
Former Illini football coach Tim Beckman got fired one week before the season started Some in the media liked to frame Beckman as a bumbling fool — but ask any member of the Champaign sports media, and I promise you that they’ll tell you that they loved his press conferences. From explaining the meaning of the word “OSKEE” to talking about his wife’s lasagna, his pressers were always entertaining. Some of what happened, like excessive name-calling and cussing, wasn’t much different than what happens in many other college football programs across the country. Other allegations were inexcusable — like forcing players to play through injury. Those kinds of trangressions were cause for termination. I think the players handled this season extremely well. The troops rallied around Bill Cubit and actually played pretty good football this year. Sure, the 5-7 record wasn’t glamorous. But the team managed to look competitive in every game except the road losses to North Carolina and Penn State.
Interim head coach Cubit earned himself a two-year extension There’s a chance that Cubit could be the kind of guy you want coaching your football team. Players love playing for him, he was out on the Quad each week shaking hands with students, and he seems to truly love this University. That being said, this deal left me scratching my big melon head. Why didn’t it show patience and allow time to evaluate this guy? Not to mention giving him two years? That’s taboo for a college football coach’s contract. It’s also problematic considering he was one of Beckman’s guys — did Cubit really not know what was going on in regards to the mistreatment of play-
ers? The report says he’s clean, but I don’t know how convincing it is. Interim AD Paul Kowalczyk said the deal wasn’t “a knife to the heart of the program.” So that’s really the standard everyone’s going by now at the U of I? Sure, a knife to the leg or perhaps the arm is fine, as long as it’s not the heart! He should’ve borrowed the famous line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. After King Arthur slices the Black Knight’s arm clean off, the knight exclaims, “’Tis nothing but a flesh wound!”
Illinois hires basketball legend Dee Brown to be Special Assistant to the Athletic Director I loved this move — and not just because I got the opportunity to meet and interview one of my childhood heroes. Brown is perfect for this job. I couldn’t possibly think of a better salesman for the University than the Prince of Champaign himself. He is going to thrive in this made-up role — he’ll bolster recruiting and make the donations start rolling in, too. This is the type of guy you want to keep in Champaign for a long, long time. He should continue to be the face of this program. He’s humble, kind and driven — but most of all, he’s not satisfied. In our interview together, he told me “I just want to keep climbing and see how far that ladder goes.” Kudos to Illinois on this one.
Mike Thomas got canned This was inevitable. He had absolutely no chance of surviving the allegations that were swirling around a number of his programs. It worked out well for me too — I’m first in line for his job.
The State Farm Center has a new look As the kids today say — the SFC looks “dope.” I know I’m not exactly hip to the jive, but I might even go as far as to say that it’s “lit.” The University dropped nearly $170 million on this project. That’s more than I make in a week. The pretty penny they paid on the makeover appears to be worth it. The nasty gray seats are gone and have been replaced with shiny blue and orange seats. The 1,200 courtside seats for Orange Krush give the Illini an even better home court advantage. They also dedicated the court to Illini coaching legend Lou Henson — it was a classy move, and much deserved for the greatest coach in the program’s history.
The Illini basketball team has been bad Illini basketball head coach John Groce has been dealt a tough hand this season. If this was a game of Texas Hold ‘em, Groce was dealt seven-two-off-suit. I would say the news of star big man Mike Thorne Jr. tearing his meniscus was analogous to the straw that broke the camel’s back. Except it wasn’t a straw — it was more like a Miley Cyrus wrecking ball that came crashing into the metaphorical Illini camel. OK, perhaps that was a bit hyperbolic, but you get the point. Injuries have plagued the Illini this

With embarrassing earlyseason losses to Chattanooga and Northern Florida, Illinois needs to turn things around quickly. Thankfully, its last five non-conference games are all winnable. This stretch gives the Illini a chance to boost team
morale before heading into the always-difficult Big Ten schedule.

promise you that I loved writing them. Continue to send me emails, tweets, notes from carrier pigeons and the like — I always love hearing your feedback. As many of you know, I’m a bit of a Marxist — Groucho, not Karl, of course. So I’ll close by

Illini hockey sitting second to last in CSCHL standings BY ETHAN SWANSON STAFF WRITER
TYLER COURTNEY THE DAILY ILLINI
Eric Cruickshank takes a shot during the game against Iowa State at the Ice Arena on Nov. 14.
Forwards James Mcging and Eric Cruickshank are no strangers to one another out on the ice. As linemates, the two have produced 51 points for the Illini this season. The set-up man Mcging boasts 19 assists on the season while the usual recipient of Mcging’s dimes, Cruickshank, has netted 16 goals. Both lead the team in the respective categories. When Illinois traveled to Robert Morris University (Illinois) last weekend, the change in scenery brought a change in the Mcging-toCruickshank connection as well. Instead of being the facilitator to his teammates, Mcging took on the scoring burden and led the Illini in goals over the weekend. Mcging had two goals in Friday’s 3-2 win, including the game-winner in overtime. Mcging added another goal in Saturday’s 4-3 loss, and his
linemate Cruickshank registered an assist in each game, one of which went to Mcging. “He can get you the puck even when you think there’s absolutely no way possible,” Cruickshank said. “He’s dangerous in space, whether he wants to pass or shoot.” “He’s one of the best in the country,” head coach Nick Fabbrini added. “He’s crucial to that line, and that line is crucial for us.”
Persistent Penalties Keeping key players out of the penalty box has been a major struggle for the Illini all season. Three Illinois skaters have already accumulated over 35 penalty minutes. Mcging and Cruickshank lead the team with 63 and 58 minutes, respectively. However, the Illini were able to minimize opposing power play opportunities, only allowing six man-up situations for the Eagles over the weekend and giving up
no goals during the ensuing penalty kills. On Saturday, the Illini only received one minor penalty worth two minutes in the box, substantially beating their game average of 15 minutes per game. “It’s just a matter of discipline and personal choice,” John Olen said. “Our best players can’t make plays if they’re not on the ice and it’s asking too much from our defense to play a man down nearly a whole period. We’re a younger team, and these things come with maturity.”
Stagnant in the Standings Illinois began the season at No. 13 in the ACHA preseason poll, but has failed to move up the standings since September. The team currently sits at No. 25 in the league and second to last in the CSCHL conference. At approximately the halfway point in the season, the Illini are running out of
excuses for not living up to early expectations. With Olen and other formerly injured Illini entering their second week back in the lineup, Illinois should have the roster to make a run in the second half of the season. Only four points separate first and last place in the CSCHL, but with conference leaders Iowa State and Ohio ranked in the top five, winning the conference outright will be a tall order for the Illini. All the remaining CSCHL series for the Illini are against teams above them in the standings, and two out of the three remaining conference series will be on the road. If Illinois finds a way to climb atop the conference, it will be well earned. “We know what we need to do,” Fabbrini said. “We have to win.”

For the fourth time in a college basketball regular season, the Michigan State men’s basketball team is No. 1 in the rankings. The Spartans moved up from No. 3 to No. 1 Monday in the Associated Press poll, getting 62 of 65 first-place votes. The last MSU team to top the rankings was Tom Izzo’s 2013-14 team, in December 2013. MSU also is No. 1 in the USA TODAY coaches poll. The Spartans (9-0) host Maryland-Eastern Shore (1-6) on Wednesday. Izzo said Monday before the rankings were released that he would embrace being No. 1 but not put too much emphasis on it. “Trust me when I say this: I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but watching the football final four yesterday and realizing, in the
last two years, where some people were ranked at the beginning of the year and where they ended up, it has no bearing on things,” Izzo said.

Lebron James signs lifetime contract with Nike BY JASON LLOYD TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — LeBron James will wear the legendary swoosh for the rest of his life. James and Nike have agreed on a lifetime contract that could serve as the next step toward a shoe empire similar to the Jordan brand Nike built around Michael Jordan. The terms were not disclosed. It is believed to be the fi rst lifetime contract Nike has handed out and it is the largest guarantee the company has ever made to a single athlete, according to ESPN, which first reported the deal. James fi rst signed with Nike prior to his rookie season and is believed to have made at least $240 million lifetime already from the shoe giant. “I’ve had a smile on my face for quite awhile,” James said Monday. “I’m just grateful that Nike and Phil Knight, and everyone over there just believed in a skinny 18-yearold kid from Akron, Ohio, and I’m happy to be a part of such a great company.” James acknowledged there have been preliminary dis-

cussions between the two sides regarding a spinoff brand of his LeBrons similar to the Jordan brand, which easily remains Nike’s most popular. Although he has been retired for more than a decade, ESPN reported Jordan’s brand still generates more than $2.2 billion in sales. Nike has released 30 versions of the Air Jordan. James is on his 13th version of the LeBrons. ESPN reported sales of James’ signature shoe are expected to top $400 million in 2015. “It’s been a conversation. We’ll see when we get to that point,” James said. “If it makes sense for both parties, then we’ll do it. If not, then we won’t. We’ve done a great job of building my brand to this point here today. We want to just continue it. If it makes sense for us to have a ‘Team LeBron,’ or whatever the name will be, we’ll take a look at it and we’ll go from there. “It’s a partnership between us. It’s not an endorsement deal. It’s a partnership where we always come together and figure out the best way possible for both brands to be successful.”
James seems to be planting roots throughout his life. When he returned home to play for the Cavaliers, he said he had no plans to leave again in part because he didn’t want to endure free agency anymore. Similarly, he said Monday he signed a lifetime deal with Nike because there is nowhere else he wanted to go and he wanted to wear the swoosh for the rest of his life. “I’m just playing the game that I love and I’ll do anything for. And some of the benefits that’s coming with it is the humbling side. It’s the blessed side,” James said. “All the stuff, I will never forget or downplay what has gotten me to this point and it’s the basketball. The game. And I’ve treated it with so much respect. I give everything to the game and everything that comes to me, I treat it with so much dignity and honor. “You all see my two boys over there, my little girl at home, my wife and my mom, and to be able to have them in a position where they don’t have to care for anything because I worked my tail off, that’s all that it’s about for me.”
Steve Sarkisian sues University of Southern California pled with his wife filing for divorce earlier this year furthered his alcohol dependency. The issue came into public view during USC’s Salute to Troy booster event in August. Sarkisian said in the lawsuit that hours before the event, he consumed two light beers along with prescription medication for anxiety. When Sarkisian spoke at the event, he slurred his words and uttered a profanity. “Haden then met privately with Mr. Sarkisian and threatened that he could fire him on the spot,” the lawsuit said. In the aftermath, the lawsuit said, Haden required Sarkisian to sign a letter agreeing to apologize for his behavior and to meet weekly with a therapist at USC. The lawsuit said Sarkisian had no alcohol-related issues following Salute to Troy, and pointedly denied that the
BY NATHAN FENNO TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
LOS ANGELES — Former University of Southern California football coach Steve Sarkisian sued the school Monday, claiming that Athletic Director Pat Haden fired him in October instead of allowing him to seek treatment for alcoholism. “Instead of accommodating Steve Sarkisian’s disability, USC kicked him to the curb,” the lawsuit said. The 31-page complaint fi led in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleges breach of contract, discrimination on the basis of disability and invasion of privacy. It also provides Sarkisian’s fi rst public account of the events that led to his ouster after less than two years as USC’s head coach. In the suit, Sarkisian says the stress of his job cou-
coach was intoxicated during a Sept. 26 game against Arizona State. However, the lawsuit said, after Washington, where Sarkisian coached for five seasons prior to coming to USC, upset the Trojans, 17-12, on Oct. 8, the coach’s “depression and anxiety worsened” and his alcohol consumption outside work increased. On Oct. 11, the lawsuit said, Sarkisian arrived at USC for a team meeting but did not feel right after drinking the previous night. The lawsuit said Sarkisian wasn’t intoxicated at the meeting, but had taken prescription medication before the gathering and that his anxiety and depression were “spiraling out of control in his mind.” “The combination of those events led Mr. Sarkisian to not appear to be normal,” the
lawsuit said. Sarkisian realized he needed help and left USC of his own volition before that afternoon’s practice, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit said Sarkisan was “upset, teary and nearly hyperventilating” before fi nally calling Haden on a speaker phone and asking for time off. According to the lawsuit, Haden said: “Unbelievable! Can’t you even go back to the office to finish the day?” Sarkisian responded: “No, I need to get help. I’m not right.” Haden directed Sarkisian to speak to a USC sports psychologist who previously counseled the coach and placed him on leave. The next day, Sarkisian took a flight to an in-patient treatment facility. When he landed, the lawsuit said, he learned Haden had fired him when the coach saw a letter

The lawsuit said Sarkisian is owed at least $12.6 million under his contract with USC, in addition to other damages. Sarkisian has completed “intensive” treatment, the complaint said, is sober and ready to return to coaching.
